Chapter 1640: Governor, don’t bother me anymore

The two of them just entered Qianzhou City today.

But what is strange is that the people here always lower their heads when walking.

It seems that he is afraid of being seen.

Let alone chatting on the street.

The streets along the way were quiet and quiet. If you saw something like this at night, you would be scared to death at least.

"Shopkeeper, help arrange two upper rooms." After eating and drinking, Zhao Chen shouted to the tavern shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper just nodded and still didn't speak.

Soon, the waiter in the tavern sent the two of them up to the door of the room. After opening the door, the waiter wanted to leave.

But he didn't want to be grabbed by Zhao Chen's arm.

The waiter struggled to leave. Zhao Chen took out two gold leaves from his arms and handed them to the waiter.

Seeing the gold leaf in his hand, the waiter's eyes flashed with excitement.

He looked back behind him and saw that no one noticed him. He quickly put the gold leaf into his arms and turned around and walked into the room.

Then he quickly closed the door again.

"What's the matter, Master?" the waiter asked in a low voice.

"Why is no one talking in Qianzhou City?"

"Is today a special day?" Zhao Chen and the waiter asked.

Li Ke also looked at the waiter with curiosity.

The waiter shook his head, with a look of hesitation on his face. Then he leaned against the door and listened for a while, but still no one came.

Then he slowly said, "Young Master must have just arrived in Qianzhou City and doesn't know what happened in the city a few days ago."

"What happened in the city?" Li Ke quickly asked.

The waiter looked back again and said in a low voice, "A few days ago, there was an explosion in the city, and hundreds of people died in the explosion."

"Some people say that the explosion was a gunpowder explosion, the thing invented by His Royal Highness the King of Han in the imperial court."

"Isn't gunpowder under the control of the imperial court? Why does it appear here?"

Li Ke pressed forward and asked Zhao Chen's doubts.

"Harm, who knows? Some people say that His Highness the King of Han ordered the gunpowder here to be used against the imperial court..."

"Fart!" Li Ke shouted angrily, startling the waiter.

The waiter's face turned pale.

He hurried out of the room.

In the room, Zhao Chen and Li Ke looked at each other.

After a long silence, Li Ke's voice was heard, "Brother, it seems that there is something very fishy about this Qianzhou City, just like what was said in the letter."

"The technology of gunpowder is only available in the imperial court's workshop, and that workshop is managed by you personally, brother. Now there is gunpowder in Qianzhou."

"Some people even say that it's you, brother..."

Li Ke didn't finish his words.

Once the explosion in Qianzhou is related to Zhao Chen, unless sufficient evidence is found, there will be no way to wash away the sewage on Zhao Chen's body.

But now they are in Qianzhou, and there is not even one person who dares to speak.

How do they start investigating?

"Tomorrow you bring people into the city with a high profile and let everyone know that the King of Han has come to Qianzhou." Zhao Chen was silent for a while and then slowly said to Li Ke.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment and then realized that Zhao Chen didn't say what he was going to do.

"What about you, brother?" Li Ke asked quickly.

"You are attracting the attention of Qianzhou officials head-on, while I am investigating this matter secretly."

"The Qianzhou officials have not seen me. Just find someone to deal with the Qianzhou officials on my behalf." Zhao Chen slowly said his plan.

Since Qianzhou dares to strictly order everyone to speak, the owner of the letter he received must have died at the hands of Qianzhou officials.

in hand.

Zhao Chen had to investigate in secret.

Maybe you can find something.

And Li Ke only needed to attract the attention of Qianzhou officials from the front.

"Why don't you send some people to follow your brother to protect him?" Li Ke said with some worry.

Zhao Chen waved his hand.

There is absolutely no problem with my own skills.

Moreover, if you follow others around you, it will easily arouse suspicion from others.

…

Early the next morning.

Yan Wenzheng, the governor of Qianzhou, received the news.

The King of Han Zhao Chen, along with the King of Shu Li Ke, and a hundred Xuanjia troops are about to arrive at Qianzhou City.

This news shocked Yan Wenzheng.

Although he was worried that Zhao Chen was going to the north on the surface, but actually came to the south.

But he didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen actually came to Qianzhou.

Yan Wenzheng quickly summoned the officials of Qianzhou, big and small, and organized a large group of old people from Qianzhou to go outside the city to welcome the King of Han.

"Have all the following matters been taken care of?" Yan Wen was waiting for the arrival of the Hanwang carriage, and turned to ask the general beside him.

"Everything is almost done. All traces of the explosion have been dealt with. If anyone really talks about this, you can say that there was a mistake in the fireworks production, which led to the explosion."

"I guarantee that the King of Han will find nothing." The general whispered.

Hearing what the general said, Yan Wenzheng slowly felt relieved.

He Yanwen knew Zhao Chen's name very well.

If Zhao Chen found out something, there was a 90% chance that Yan Wenzheng would die without a burial place.

Yan Wenzheng didn't want that.

"Be prepared for everything. If the King of Han insists on this matter, let him..." Yan Wen was hiding in

The hand in the sleeve gently wiped the neck.

The general nodded, and the two looked forward.

In the distance, a group of carriages slowly approached the gate of Qianzhou City.

Yan Wen was straightening up his appearance before he hurried forward with a smile on his face.

"The Governor of Qianzhou, Yan Wenzheng, led the city officials to pay homage to His Royal Highness the King of Han and His Highness the King of Shu." Yan Wenzheng stopped in front of the carriage and bowed.

"I pay my respects to His Highness the King of Han and His Highness the King of Shu." A group of officials, big and small, followed suit and shouted to the carriage.

The carriage opened half of the curtain, revealing an expressionless face.

"Thank you for your hard work!" The voice in the carriage was extremely indifferent, and after speaking, he lowered the curtain.

He had no intention of getting off the carriage to meet Yan Wenzheng and others.

Yan Wen was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment.

I led the officials of Qianzhou out of the city to greet him. Why didn't the King of Han even get off his carriage?

"His Royal Highness the King of Han..."

"I'm running around on the road. Brother Huang is not feeling well. Governor Yan, don't bother me anymore."

Yan Wenzheng wanted to invite the King of Han to come down again to meet with everyone, but he saw Li Ke getting off another carriage.

Yan Wenzheng realized that King Han was not feeling well.

He quickly said with a smile, "I am guilty, and I would like to invite His Royal Highness the King of Han and His Highness the King of Shu to go into the city to rest."

Yanwen was getting out of the way, and the carriage slowly entered the city.

One hundred Xuanjia troops behind him guarded both sides, and they entered Qianzhou City together.

Yan Wen was standing there, looking at the motorcade slowly entering the city, his expression slowly darkening.

He didn't want the King of Han to find out anything.

"Have someone check it again to make sure there are no mistakes."

"yes!"

The general took the order and left, and Yan Wenzheng slowly walked into Qianzhou City.
